Please, be safe.
Lorenzo opens my door and takes my overnight bag from the trunk. “I don’t want to wake anyone up,” I whisper.
“Bianca knows you’re coming.” Just as he says that, the front door opens, and Bianca comes into view. She’s wearing a cream satin nightdress and gown—as glamorous as ever.
“Hello, Olivia,” she says with a forced smile.
I clutch my handbag with white knuckle force. “Hi.” I look around nervously. “I’m sorry about this, I hate to trouble you. I really could have stayed at Enrico’s.”
“It’s fine.” She holds her hand out for me. “Come, come.” She leads me into the house. “It will make Enrico feel better if he knows you’re safe.”
I clutch my bag harder. Gah, this is awkward. “Thanks.”
“Can I get you a drink or anything?” she asks.
“No.” My eyes flick nervously to Lorenzo. “I think I will just go to bed, if that’s okay?”
“Yes, yes, of course.” She leads me up the stairs and down a huge corridor. “This used to be Enrico’s room as a child,” she says as she opens the door. “I thought you might want to stay in here.”
I look around the luxurious furnishings. The walls are navy blue, and the furnishings are all white. To the left is a beautiful white marble bathroom.
Wow.
Who has a bedroom like this as a child? “It’s perfect, thank you.”
“Do you need anything else?” I shake my head. “No, thank you. Goodnight.”
“Goodnight.” With one last look and another forced smile, she leaves and closes the door behind her. I drop down on the bed before I flop onto my back. I lie for a moment and stare at the ceiling. I know there’s something I really have to do.
I’ve been putting it off for a week, but now I need to know. I dig out the pharmacy paper bag from my luggage and I read the box.
First Response Pregnancy Test
I’m on the pill. I know it can’t be positive, but for some reason I have this we
ird gut feeling that I am.
I mean, I did miss a pill or two a few weeks back, but I took double the next day, and I’ve always done that before with no consequences.
I study the instructions and then go and pee on the stick. I sit on the bathroom counter while I wait.
I wait.
And I wait…
And I wait.
Before my very eyes, one line appears… and then a second faint line appears not so long after.
Hmm, that’s interesting.
I frown. What does that mean? I snatch the instructions up and read them again.
Two lines indicates a positive result.
My mouth falls open in shock.
What the fuck? I’m pregnant.
